Friday is turning out to be some day for Sunderland fans. With Newcastle United set to announce £60m new record signing Alexander Isak. Could things possibly get any worse (hilarious!!!)…

Alex Neil after Newcastle match: “We more than held our own…I don’t think anyone would have grumbled had we gone on and won the game.”

Alex Neil “When you are playing the league leaders and you have that quality missing from your squad it proves doubly difficult.”

Alex Neil “Many would argue Newcastle have the most expensive squad…I don’t think we have the same level of expectation.”

As Rafa welcomes back Dwight Gayle, Alex Neil is waiting on the availability of some of his players.

Sore loser and timewasting Norwich boss Alex Neil takes the 4-3 defeat none too well…”Where did the 6 minutes come from? He (referee) tried to say this and that but it’s just nonsense”

Norwich Manager Alex Neil is full of confidence ahead of the trip to Newcastle “We are not going there looking to accept a draw or feeling we just want to do well.”

Pasty face Scot Alex Neil looks like a Scottish Yoan Gouffran and as the PL’s youngest ever manager he’s probably a bit quicker than Gouffran too.

Norwich boss Alex Neil: “Newcastle are quite expansive when they have got the ball, and it’s going to be an open match I think.”
